Materials Data on Y(SiPt)2 by Materials Project
Y(PtSi)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt and eight equivalent Si atoms. All Y–Pt bond lengths are 3.24 Å. All Y–Si bond lengths are 3.19 Å. Pt is bonded to four equivalent Y and four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing PtY4Si4 tetrahedra. All Pt–Si bond lengths are 2.47 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y, four equivalent Pt, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.33 Å.
